Absolutely fantastic
Stefanie is perfection. Truly.
To begin: her sample work is spectacular. I mean, take a look. It's all real. Our photos were that good too. She's super reasonable and flexible, e.g. we didn't want an engagement shoot b/c we found her a while after we got engaged, so instead she covered our night-before gathering. And administratively, she's so on the ball. Electronic contracts and payment, super professional, very clear, very responsive. Happy to come do advanced walk-thrus, makes time to talk through logistics and creative preferences and then remembers everything without any reminders. Probably the easiest vendor to work with, of everyone we hired.
Creatively and interpersonally, I can't imagine a better fit. Her work is gorgeous, ranging from traditional to hilarious and fun candids that capture the vibe of the moment. We're a silly couple together, and that came through wonderfully, but we also got all the gorgeous staged shots for mom and dad. And we loved having her AT the actual events. Both she and the second shooter (also Stephanie, ironically) were fantastic and just seamlessly integrated with our guests like they belonged there. It made for wonderful, organic shots. And they were just fun and joyful to have at our wedding. Plus, they were incredibly helpful - sometimes even doing tasks our wedding planner should have been doing, and without complaining or being asked. (e.g. they found the bouquets, wrangled family, etc.). Honestly, I don't know what we would have done without Team Stefanie.
After the fact - we got a ton of amazing photos, in 3 forms: a website with downloadable files and an ordering system for prints, a flash drive, and a CD. Backups on our backups. And the photobook we made for my parents was incredible - printed on really high quality cardstock, and it allowed for way more photos than we could even pick for them! The website with photo downloads is a touch clunky, but that's really the only possible "constructive feedback" I could give. Everything else was truly perfection.
We'd recommend Stefanie in a heartbeat, she's such a wonderfully charismatic, reliable, knowledgeable, and creative professional. We feel so fortunate that we found her and that she was available on our wedding weekend! -

A Sent on 10/08/2018Having Stefanie take our wedding photos was by far the best decision we made for our wedding! She made us so comfortable and took photos that made us look like incredible. We can’t wait for another excuse to hire Stefanie again!

Christina Sent on 10/09/2018I first worked with Stefanie during my best friends wedding. Once I got engaged I knew she was the photographer I wanted to capture our day. Getting your pictures taken for 8 hours can get awkward at times but Stefanie goes with the flow, she can rangle a group of rowdy groomsman like no other and her pictures speak for themselves. My favorite thing about her pictures are that I still look like myself, she doesn't use heavy editing/filters like we see on the internet these days. I can't wait to work with Stefanie again!

Sophie Sent on 05/20/2018LOVE HER and her work!!! Not only is Stefanie so amazing at what she does, but she is also so great and easy to work with!! Photography for our wedding was high on our priority list, but we still had a budget. I met stefanie at a wedding expo and loved her work she had displayed and loved her personality even more! She did our engamanet session as well as our wedding. The photos are incredible. Tons of beautiful candids and romantic shots. She captured every detailed moment perfectly! Her second shooter for our wedding day was great, too! We’re able to look back on a day that was a blur for us and see all of the gorgeous details. I’d recommend stefanie over and over again!!!

Rhea Sent on 01/29/2018I hired Stefanie to shoot my wedding day (1/12/18) at the courthouse - with the caveat that she couldn't actually shoot the ceremony because cameras aren't allowed in the Mecklenburg County Courthouse. We met with Stefanie before the wedding to brainstorm where we could go to get some cool urban/Charlotte shots and how to incorporate our guests into the photos after the ceremony.
A few days before the wedding, I emailed Stefanie with the realization that it was going to be raining. She completely reassured me and we made plans to have umbrellas available with some back-up locations at the ready.
The day of the wedding, Stefanie guided us at a variety of locations (some rainy, some just overcast) for romantic shots, family photos, group shots and friends photos. Even when it was raining and seemed dreary outside, she would show me a photo now and then and reassure me that the weather would make outstanding photos.
The final product was amazing - she caught our wedding day and our friends and family in a perfect way. Hiring her was one of our best wedding planning decisions! -

Chelsea Sent on 12/20/2017Stefanie Haviv was our photographer for our wedding in November 2017. Stefanie and I met at the Carolina Bridal Expo and immediately connected. Her work spoke for itself- modern, playful, candid and gorgeous. It was exactly the type of look we were going for when we began our search for a photographer. From the very first meeting, Stefanie took our vague thoughts about what we wanted and made them into fresh, interesting, unique and beautiful photos that felt every bit “us”. When we told her that we had an idea for our engagement shoot to eat pizza on the couch, she transformed this idea into a gorgeous shoot on her parent’s farm, with us in our PJ’s on a couch in the middle of a beautiful field eating pizza while wrapped in a blanket. (Oh, and there happened to be baby goats so we took some photos with them, too :)) This, along with a more traditional engagement session took all day and Stefanie took so much time with us, grabbing frame after frame of beautiful and unique perspectives. She was super responsive, and her work came back to us quickly, as well, perfectly edited and was happy to have us share them with those we love. Stefanie was an absolute joy to have as our photographer, making sure every photo we requested for our wedding day was taken and plenty of shots of not only us, but our friends and family, as well, which was a joy to see. Along with the more traditional shots, she is not afraid to take risks with her photos which is where some of the more artistic and playful shots come from- my husband and I are huge fans of these! Stefanie is a true professional- courteous, compassionate, incredibly relatable and a real talent. I consider it an honor that my husband and I were able to have her capture these moments with us and I look forward to having her capture many more.
